Funding pattern
What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.
Where the money goes
- General and core support for social justice advocacy organizations
- Immigrant justice, civil rights, and racial equity movement infrastructure
- Gender and reproductive equity, feminist funds, LGBTQI+ organizations
- Worker power, anti-monopoly, economic mobility, and criminal justice reform
- Public interest technology, digital rights, and investigative journalism
- Arts and culture with an equity frame, including Detroit and regional initiatives
Typical grant
Median grant is $120,000 with the middle half between $50,000 and $250,000, so most of the 10,731 grants are modest institutional support checks. The seven-figure and eight-figure awards go almost entirely to pooled funds, funder collaboratives, and national anchor institutions such as Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, Blue Meridian, ACLU, and NAACP LDF. Repeat giving is heavy: the same organizations appear across years, and several receive two separate grants in a single year.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “GENERAL SUPPORT AND CORE SUPPORT FOR INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING”
- “CORE SUPPORT”
- “INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING”
- “MOVEMENT”
- “GLOBAL SOUTH”
- “NARRATIVE”
Positioning adjacent work
- Frame the ask as core support for institutional strengthening, not a discrete project budget line.
- Connect research to a named funded theme: worker organizing, public interest technology, gender equity, or narrative change.
- Ask $100,000 to $250,000 for a first relationship; seven figures goes to pooled funds and anchors.
- Emphasize movement partners and Global South collaborators rather than academic outputs alone.
Worth knowing: Money concentrates hard in New York and Washington DC, with California, Massachusetts, and Detroit next, and Detroit giving reflects long-standing Ford commitments there. A small set of intermediaries, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, New Venture Fund, NEO Philanthropy, and Proteus, absorb the largest checks and regrant them, so the practical route in is often through a collaborative Ford already funds rather than direct.
